Can anyone help me make an unbiased choice, I am looking to buy either a Sony DRU510a or Plextor PX-708A DVD burner and would like to know if someone can tell me which is better. I am going to use it mainly to burn old VHS videos to DVD, I have a couple of hundred to do so I need a long, durable burner.
Thanks,
Dave

Sony is not bad but I've always liked Plextor. They are known for high quality. What's more important is the format that you use. I like -R for two reasons: 1. The media is cheaper 2. -R discs are compatible with more models of set top DVD players than +R. Besides that, as long as you get the job done within the warranty period durability won't be an issue.

Both macnines will burn both formats, +R & -R. Both are the same speeds.

I have been running sony's in my pc and mac since they started making DVD burners.

When a customer wants an upgrade I install Sony. I have not had one complaint yet.

Hope This Helps
